EA Programmer Help Please

Hi,

I am looking to see if an Indicator can be written?

I think it is simple, but I might be wrong.

I am looking at stochs on 5,3,3 on the 4 hour time frame, when the cross occurs, I then want to look on the 30 minute time frame for the stoch to cross in the same direction ( or if it is already crossed and heading in that direction) to alert me, send me mail.

Can anything be written?

Thanks in advance,

Yep, can be done.

Take a look at the alert and sendmail functions, that should get you started.

It will be an EA not an indicator.
and to get the sendmail function working you have to put the correct settings in your MT4.

It is not very complicated but it is not something you will get done in 15 minutes.

I think you will have to pay something to a programmer if you want a specific EA.

Just a quick correction, this could very well be (and probably should be) coded as an indicator.

I just mention this to save guess121 some time if he chooses to try his hand at the code.

It's a bit off-topic but I don't agree with you (on the "should be").

In my opinion the purpose of an indicator is mainly to display information in a new way .
In this case the indicator he wants to use is a standard one (Stochastic) so there is nothing valuable to display in a new indicator as MTF_Stoch can be found anyway.
He just wants to test the crosses on different time frames and get an email and for me the test of crossing lines shouldn't be done in an indicator if these lines are standard ones.

But of course you can be of a different opinion.

Sorry to have been a bit off-topic...

Fair enough, and that was actually my thinking when I first started creating alerting indicators. The issue that I ran into was that I could then only have one such "alerting EA" running on a chart at any given time. It creates an artificial restriction.

Sorry to waste your time, I have found a tool that does the job.



It's simple and it gives me enough time to look at the trade, stoch crosses on 4h time frame, and it also emails me, which is great.

Thanks very much!
